I’ve spent my life building, fixing, and improving systems—whether those systems are technological, business-related, or human. I co-founded FlowActive, a company that merges hardware and software to tackle one of the most invisible problems in plumbing: silent water leaks. Our smart water meters didn’t just save water—they taught large facilities how to listen to it.

But FlowActive wasn’t the beginning or the end. My journey has taken me from embedded firmware and circuit design to full-stack software platforms, AI research, and LLM training. I’ve led teams of engineers, managed startups from zero to revenue, and written code across nearly every major programming language. I’ve worked with batteries, ESP32s, LoRaWAN, Django APIs, PDF search engines, GPU-accelerated OCR pipelines, and transformer models fine-tuned on JFK assassination records. My problem set spans decades, from Cold War documents to modern-day compliance frameworks.

I also helped co-found and launch Royale Flower, one of the first legal cannabis dispensaries in Albany, NY—bridging the gap between regulatory chaos and operational control, having to manage & lead dozens of employees. That experience, like many others, sharpened my view of how systems break under pressure when built without clarity or integrity.
